poets that dont know it

All those things that you read, see and hear around you that sound freakily and unintentionally poetic.

I started writing again two years ago after abandoning it immediately upon graduating college. Yup, that can be what majoring in creative writing can do to you. This year I am one of the members of the 2013 Boston Poetry Slam/Cantab national team.

Initially, I would say, "I am not actually writing poetry, it is just something I am doing." I was being flip, but I still think:

Poetry can be, just something you are doing. And I plan to post it here, when people are doing it.

If you see me out at a poetry slam in Cambridge MA, email me. I like talking to strangers, most of the time.

on survivor’s guilt

“Survivors rustle around in the world, in emotion, in the strange and unpredictable weather of grief…Poetry is to be moved through, and the best poets make us want to move through their words the way we, as survivors of our children or our parents, our spouses or pets or closest friends, wish to move through the world in the wake of a gutting absence.” - Emily Rapp
